January’s a huge month in tech thanks to the annual Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, which sees nearly every maker of silicon and every two-bit gadget hack in the entire world converge upon Las Vegas for a glutted orgy of tech consumerism.

2011’s CES is looking to be particularly interesting in the mobile spectrum. For one thing, we should start finally seeing some serious Android-boasting tablets, the industry having had enough time at this point to properly respond to the iPad.

Even more interesting, though, is the fact that 2011 will be the first year that 4G really enters the mainstream, and one thing we know for sure is that Verizon intends to unveil a gaggle of new smartphone handsets that support their new LTE network.

Other than that, we don’t know much about what Verizon intends to unveil, but it now looks like at least one of those Android LTE devices will be from HTC, with Verizon Wireless’ official Twitter account seriously teasing that HTC will continue their Chocolate line to LTE.

The next couple of weeks are traditionally a pretty slow news period, but don’t despair: come the first week of January, there will be a lot of new gadgets, phones, tablets and tech to talk about it.
